Abasi was the eldest among the trio and Arsalan was the youngest. They all met by chance and became friends.

Shuja was asking Abasi about Seher.

Arsalan who was usually quiet one Interfered" Shuja I don't understand why your parents are quiet about Shazain. You all can easily bring back your sister rather than worrying"

"My father always favours Sultan Shazain, even I don't understand why. Shazain is way too older than my sister but still, my parents accepted him. it is all because of the promise made to Sultan Shazeb that he will look after him, but Shazain is an old man now he doesn't need any support." Shuja voice showed his dislike for Shazain.

"Abi Shazain is not that old. I don't understand your families obsession with age even your sister called my brother uncle" Abasi laughed.

Shuja was surprised" I can't believe Seher said that but happy if she did". Murad came in asked Shuja to accompany him.

Arsalan and Abasi greeted him. "Well will also take leave Shuja, "Arsalan indicated and bid goodbye and left with Abasi.

"Why do you still not like Murad,?" Arsalan asked Abasi.

"How do you know?"

"Your face says it all Abasi, "

"I respect him a lot but he is spinless according to me" Abasi chuckled.

"Why?"

"You did not see Seher she is so perfect, come on which man does not express his love to his fiancee, that too so beautiful and innocent like her. If I was in his shoes.."

"Seher is your sister in law" Arsalan reminded him.

"I know idiot, I respect her,she is a woman who any man desires as his wife. She is calm, quiet a perfect woman to raise a peaceful family. I think she is similar to your mother Arsalan.

At least Shazain had the courage to abduct her and make her his ."

"Yes, my mother's type who was betrayed by her husband and lived all her life in poverty raising me . Shazain is doing the same thing but at least Seher has a family..

Abasi I don't understand why queen Nur Jahan did not train her daughter like her, king Fakhruddin said that he is a king because of her. you know people say that when she fights it take an army to take her down."

"I think it is personality Arsalan. Look your mother might not be strong to fight but she is strong enough to raise you single handedly into a man you are. She sacrificed herself to raise you.I have more respect for your mother. Seher is just like her..."

I will avenge for the sufferings mother.

Arasalan thought and diverted the topic.

"Shuja does have another sister isn't it?"Arsalan teased Abasi

"Arsalan those five brothers will skin you alive if they know you are eyeing their sister"

"Once she is married their hands will be tied like in your brothers case,anyway I don't want a weak pampered princess as my wife. "

"They are just bounded by a promise and what do u think the great Nur Jahan and Fakhruddin are quiet. They already have spies in my brother's palace. "

Arsalan was surprised listening to this.

"now close your mouth my lion you still need to learn a lot from them to defeat your father, I don't think you will find another Nur to make you a king, you need to work yourself "

"Anyways I need to get going Abasi, My mother might be waiting"

*********************************************************************************

Abasi just returned to the palace and was walking towards his grandmother's chambers when he saw Furious Shazain Dragging Seher.

"Brother, what is going on?" Abasi looked at Seher who look very pale.

"This is not the way to behave with Seher"

"Abasi did you forget your manners. She is my wife and your sister in law"

He looked angrily at Abasi.

"This is the matter between Husband and wife and you need not interfere"

"Matters between husband and wife are solved inside their room and if there is a drama outside it is everyone's concern"

"Enough Abasi, Move away I will forget that you are related to me" Shazain pushed Abasi out.

Abasi wanted to argue, he looked at Seher who blinked her eyes and shook her head indicating not to interfere. He retreated back.

The whole family is mad, since when did she become so brave. Abasi was mumbling.

Shazain dragged Seher and put her on the horse went near the beach. He wanted to talk to her in private

Ariana who was looking at the scene unfolding was very happy.

Now Seher you will be out of Shazain's life forever.

**********************************************************************

Shazain Ordered his soldiers not to follow.

"Why did you use this Seher?" he took out the packet of medicines and threw it on the ground. Shazain was more than angry but he was taking deep breaths to calm himself.

Seher remembered her Ummi's words

You can do it Seher, remember he can not do anything maximum he will do is force you, hit you or drown you in this sea.

" Why should I not? for me children are products of love and unfortunately we do not share any such emotion" she said without any fear visible on her face. Inside she was reading all the versus of the holy book for strength.

"You are my wife, Queen of this kingdom and our children are the future of this kingdom and its people"

" Since when Shazain? As far as I remember I was just your personal maid"

"I never treated you anything like that I like you doing my work but not as a maid as a wife. You know me, Seher, in anger I blurted nonsense."

"If I am your wife, Queen of the kingdom then what about the woman inside the palace?"

"She is the daughter of the man who once saved me, She is more like a responsibility."

"You in person confessed that you do not love me, I saw love for Ariana in your eyes, the way you care for her everything. You said that the child which I will give birth to will call her mother.

The anger you talk about. did you forget that you married me in anger, anger towards my mother? This marriage must be nonsense for you."

"How can you say that Seher. You know me very well,You love me"

"I use to think I know you and my love will change you but now I don't love you anymore "

Shazain face changed. His eyes turned darker, his anger reached its peak, he charged at Seher he wanted to strangle her but instead, he banged his head on the rocks.

"I know I married you in a wrong way but I vowed to keep this marriage for a lifetime.

Seher I am alive because of my Saviour, Ariana's dad. I promise you I will treat you well, just like you deseve. Her presence won't bother you"

"You misunderstood my silence as my weakness. Shazain, I am making it easy for you, Ariana might be happy having a divided man but I want someone who gives me undivided attention. I am sorry."

"What nonsense! who is feeding you all this nonsense? I admit I was wrong but I am correcting things. you don't even know how much I am controlling my beast now. Don't provoke me Seher. "

"Shazain you just desire my body and I will not be your play toy. Be a man for once and step up for your love and if your beloved cannot have children marry another princess who is happy to live in polygamy.

if I knew about Ariana I would never have married you and never given in to your threats. I stayed with you with all my patience because I wanted to give this a chance so that later there will not be any regrets that I did not try enough but not anymore I give up and I cannot trust you anymore. "

Shazain was then back at her words. He felt like ground was pulled under his feet. She did not look like a timid girl who was trembling in fear when he married her.

" you can not give up on us at least not when I started to have feelings for you .This is wrong Seher, Yes I desire you because I love you. What I have for Ariana is just responsibility not love but I cannot live without you, Seher. You have to trust me. You don't Know what I went through if it was not for my Saviour..." Shazain turned and Saw a few men charging at him with their swords in his direction.

"Shazain move.." Seher pushed him before Shazain could understand he saw Seher lying lifeless on the ground in a pool of blood.

Shazain stood in front of Seher's body and drew the sword and charged towards the men. He knew that there would be an attack but so did not anticipate that it would be this soon.

He wanted to keep at least one man alive but when he saw Seher on the ground he did not stop until all of them were killed.

He picked up Seher and tried walking her up.

"Seher, open your eyes" he looked at her but did not understand where she was hurt. There was a small gash on her shoulder. he quickly rode back to the palace Screaming for Rabia.

Abasi saw Seher lying unconscious in Shazain's arm and Shazain drenched in blood.

"What did you do to her Sultan Shazain? You never deserved her." he held Shazain's collar.

"Move aside Abasi" Shazain did not listen to anything he said or was saying.

" I will take her back...""

Ariana saw Shazain carrying Seher in his arms like a delicate flower. he laid Seher on the bed. Rabia tried entering the room but was blocked by Ariana.

"Move aside Ariana " Shazain screamed.
